That depends on the amp. if it has a very small current, it will only feel a little numbing.
No, the receptacle's rating is 240 volt and that is the maximum voltage allow to be applied to that device. To prevent this condition from happening 277 volt receptacles and switches have a larger box that they fit into. The retaining screws are set apart further that a 240 volt device which makes it impossible to install a 240 volt device in a 277 volt junction box.
yes 240volts is 240 volts
It is not just the outlet, but the wiring and breakers that need to be compatible with your 240 Volt appliance. Get an electrician to look at your requirement.
What is electricity.
Both legs of a 240 branch circuit need to be fused with a fuse rated at 240 volts or better. The voltage potential across the load is what governs the fuse voltage ratings.
240
50,000 volts. N.B. It isn't the voltage that kills you, it is the amps.
Yes

No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
no
no
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
What kind of appliances? All electric ranges and dryers are 240 volt. You can get them anywhere appliances are sold.
yes 240volts is 240 volts
The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.
