As many as you want. It is the power consumed by the thing(s) plugged in that is of concern.

This combination will pass code regulations. =============== In the United States, in a home, you can connect two hard-wired (not cord and plug connected) fans and six receptacles (outlets) to a single 20 amp circuit provided the 2 fans do not draw more than 10 amps together. If they are cord and plug connected, this limitation on the fans does not apply. In commercial and industrial installations, power to hard-wired equipment is provided on different circuits than receptacles.
Can you use a 15 amp 110 outlet on a 20 amp circuit as I am replacing my old outlets with new duplex ones and realized that three of my Kitchen outlets are on one 20 amp breaker?
Yes, you can use lower amperage outlets - the problem would come if you were trying to run a 20 amp appliance on a 15 amp circuit or plug a 20 amp appliance into a 15 amp outlet. It would be better, though, as some kitchen appliances could exceed 15 amps (toaster ovens, some coffee makers, electric griddles, etc.) could try to draw more than the 15 amps your outlets are designed for. Perhaps you could get some 20 amp outlets and use those 15's in a hallway or something less likely to have high amperage draw.
For a 15 amp breaker - suppose I have 8 or 12 outlets - what if on one outlet I use iron box which draws 1500 watts 12.5 amps and on another outlet a floor heater?
If there is any additional load on the outlets greater than 2.5 amps the breaker will trip. Loads of 1500 watts should be on a dedicated breaker. If the total load exceeds 15 amps the breaker will operate. However many of the outlets might supply only lights, TVs or nothing at all, so in those conditions it's OK.
