Is the phrase 'Quelle heure est-ce que c'est' acceptable French?

Answer 1

No, the phrase Quelle heure est-ce que c'est? ("What time is it that it is?") is not acceptable French. The simpler question, Quelle heure est-il? ("What time is it?"), will be acceptable, particularly if pronounced correctly as "keh-luhr ey-teel" in French.
