How many square acres does it take to make a square kilometer?

An acre is 43,560 square feet. a measure of area. A kilometer is a measure of distance not area.

I don't think it is possible to do that as a kilometer is a linear unit of measure, where as an acre is a "squared" (one side times the other of proper lengths so that the overall area is one acre) area of some dimension. Consider the concept of taking one "square" acre and pounding it flat till it was infinitely thin and see how long it would be. A kilometer is an infinitely thin line exactly 1000 meters in length. An acre is an area containing sides of different lengths.

none... becuase it's not a compatible unit. Acre is for area unit, kilometer is for length unit. But if you mean is "how many acres does it to make a square kilometer?" the answer is 247.10883 acres.

Acres are a measure of area, and kilometer a measure of distance. They are not compatible. So the answer is none.
