How can you plug in 120V appliances such as a TV and VCR to an old 240V air-conditioning outlet with one white one black and one grounding?

At the breaker box the black and white will be on a double-pole breaker (or maybe even two separate breakers). To convert to 110V attach the black to a single pole 15 amp breaker, the white to the neutral bus bar (like all the other whites in there) and the ground to the grounding bar (like the other grounds). Then replace the receptacle with a regular 15amp 110V.

In hooking up a 240V Air Conditioner you have four wires but only three on outlet What three go on receptacle Red Black White Copper?
For a 240V with ground outlet you will connect black (hot) to one brass screw, red (hot) to the other brass screw, and bare (ground) to the green screw. Cap white (neutral) with a wire nut. It is for 240/120V appliances. If you don't fully understand this buy a book. This is a very basic question. If you don't understand which wire is which you could make a serious mistake causing fire or death.
How do I install a 220 volt outlet?
The installation is similar to that of a 120V outlet. The part you have to be careful with is getting the correct size wire and breaker. 240V is installed using 3 conductor wire (Black, Red, White). The Black and Red hooks to a double-pole circuit breaker. The white and grounding the same as a 120V system. You actually don't need a 3 wire cable for a 240 volt outlet. The neutral more than likely will not be used and a three wire cable over a two wire cable adds extra costs to the overall job total. If you can afford it however, it is a good idea as then the outlet can be used as a split voltage outlet, and the wiring is pre installed. There will be 2 wires for installing a 240 VAC outlet. One red and one black.

When should you use an ungrounded outlet?
If the wiring system into which you are installing an outlet has no ground available, use an ungrounded outlet. In an ungrounded system, an outlet with a ground contact would allow the outlet user to mistakenly, and perhaps dangerously, assume that a ground was present. A suitable ground may be available as a ground wire accompanying the hot and neutral wires in the cable, or a ground may be available via conductive conduit and a metal outlet box. In any case, use a tester to confirm the integrity of the assumed ground. A voltage test from the hot wire to the ground should show the same voltage as between hot and neutral (the black and white wires respectively). If you are replacing an ungrounded outlet, you need not assume there is no ground present. You may find, in the box, ground wires that were not connected to the outlet. You may come across grounded outlets that have no ground wire attached because they rely on grounding via the mounting screws through the outlet ears to the metal box. This is a less reliable grounding method. It is better to buy a ground-wire "pigtail," fasten the wire directly to a hole in the metal box with the supplied screw, and attach the other end of the ground wire to the outlet via the outlet's ground screw.
