Is it possible to use op amp in open loop mode?

Answer:
Yes, but it is not very useful in open loop mode. In open loop mode, unless you happen to be very lucky (as in extraordinarily lucky, meaning you won't be) the output will be pegged to one of the two rails. The op-amp will be operating in saturated mode instead of linear mode, and its response time will suffer. You could also damage the op-amp.
