It could. No problem. But it is no clever idea. The socket would not be harmed, but the appliance almost certainly would.

In North America 120 volts, in the UK and Europe 240 volts.
Volts
Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
Converting 9 volts to 230 volts would require a pretty hardcore step up transformer (Expensive) and you probably wouldn't have enough current to sustain the load.See discussion page for more information.
The causes of the electrical explosions is if the voltage of the electricity come down below 110 volts or become higher than 120 volts, it will explodes so you have to use an transformer into it.
