The outlet is connected to and protected by a breaker or fuse in a main electric panel. The outlet should be sized to the protection. Usually utility outlets in a residence are either 15 A or 20 A. If there are multiple outlets on a circuit then the total current cannot exceed the protection value of the breaker or fuse.

How do you convert 110 volt outlet to 115 or is there an adapter?
No adapter is needed, 110 and 115 volt are interchangeable.
Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
Can you plug your 115 volt freezer into a standard outlet?
A freezer would usually have a dedicated circuit because you don't want another device on circuit that could trip breaker and you might be out a whole bunch of money in spoiled food. So you can do it, but you may be at risk. You can buy an alarm that will sound if power is lost.
Can you plug a 115 volt 15 amp airconditioning unit to a 100 volt outlet?
I have never seen a 100 Volt rated outlet. Usually outlets would be rated for 110 to 120 volts for residential use, or maybe 150 volts. The rating is separate from what voltage the outlet is providing. If your outlet is supplying 100 volts, as measured by an accurate voltmeter, you have some problem in your wiring or a faulty outlet. If there is only 100 volts at the outlet get an electrician to diagnose the problem if you are not completely familiar with home wiring. In general you should never use an outlet that has a voltage or current rating less that the device will consume.

The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
Can 115 volt be used in 110 plug?
115 Volt and a 110 Volt can be treated as the same thing. The electrical voltage supplied from your electric company is not exact and can be 120 Volt + or - 10%.

Yes the 115 volts you read is just the maximum it will handle.
What if you only get 118 volts on a 120 outlet?
There is no problem with that voltage. As long as the voltage is plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage of 115 volts it is considered to be in the 120 volt range.
