You could be in for a "shocking" experience. The 110v device could blow up, catch on fire, short out and injure (possibly fataly) anyone near the device.
Just don't do it. Use some common sense around electricity ... it really hurts when it bites.

Can you plug your 120v magic bullet blender to a 220 outlet?
No, in North America the plug configuration will not allow that to happen. The blade configuration for 120 volts are in parallel where as the 220 volt configuration are in tandem.
What will happen if 120 volt appliance is plugged into 220 volt outlet explain with electrical equiation?
If the supply voltage is Vs and the equipment voltage is Va, then the equipment will work if Va = Vs (equation). But if Vs / Va = 220 / 120 (equation) the equipment will fail.
Can you change a dryer plug to fit a regular wall plug?
Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
When you say an outlet 220v 30a what does it means?
This is a special purpose outlet, likely for a dryer. Normally in a house electric panel you have 120 VAC as the normal and 220 or 240 as a higher voltage. The 30 A is for 30 Amps. You can only plug in an appliance that has those ratings. You can't plug in a 120 V device.
Can you plug a 220 hair dryer into a 230 plug?
Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.

Can you plug a 230 Volt 50 Hz appliance into a 220 Volt 50 Hz outlet?

What will happen if instrument with 110v supply voltage give 220 v supply?
the appliance will burn out, eg if it is a 60 watt light bulb it will burn at 120 watt for as long as the fillament can take it and that wont be long
Can you plug a 220 volt into a 120 outlet?
Hello. While I do not have an answer for you, I am currently seeking the same. I would like to plug two kilns into one outlet, though certainly not to fire both at once, as each kiln should run on it's own circuit. Rather I would like to eliminate the need to unplug one and then plug in the other in order to fire twice in one day. I'll keep looking, and hope to have an answer for both of us. :-)
Install to 220 volt appliance at home?
Yes, a 220 volt appliance can be installed in your home.
Which will do less damage between plugging a 110-volts appliance into a 220-volts circuit or plugging a 220-volts appliance into a 110-volt circuit?
You will have trouble plugging a 220 volt appliance into a 110 volt outlet because both have different polarities for the plug and receptacle that make it impossible for that action to happen.Altering the plug isn't too good of an idea, as the voltage demand of the appliance would be too heavy for the wiring.
How many amp will reduced if voltage increases from 120 volt to 220 volt?
The voltage cannot just be increased in a circuit because there is a risk of damage, blown circuit breakers and/or fire. However an appliance desgined to run on 220 v will use 6/11ths of the current used by an identical appliance designed for 120 v.
