Yes, but I do not know of an adapter per se. Expose your 220V power lines. There should be two hot wires (black and red). They can technically be split apart and wired to two separate 110V outlets, but the neutral wire would have to be shared (not split, shared), same with the ground wire.

AnswerDon't do this. It is a hack and doesn't meet code. Just run the right wire.

Does the range receptacle have to be rewired if a gas stove replacement only needs 120 volts?

There is a little adapter which does this for you. It is available in Canada and CSA certified. It is available at Home Depot. Just plug it into the 240 volt outlet and you now have a 120 volt outlet, which is protected by its own internal 15 amp fuse. This device is to be used for one specific use only and that is to safely convert an electric range outlet when a gas ranges is replacing the electric range. Gas ranges need a 120 volt supply to operate and this device is used so that the range receptacle can supply the needed 120 volt supply. See related linksbelow.

Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?

No, you cannot simply cap one leg of a 240-volt circuit and change the breaker to convert it into a 120-volt outlet. This requires rewiring the circuit to provide 120 volts, including changing the outlet and possibly other components to be compatible with the lower voltage. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to properly convert the outlet.
