Some clocks actually do have 24 hours on them, but a 24-hour clock is used by the military, some paramilitary organizations, and in other applications (like universal standard time). Most people just use a 12-hour clock. Note that most digital watches and clocks have a selectable 12- or 24-hour time.

It depends on the clock; None of my clocks chime even once. A clock that rings the quarter hours (like the clock in the Palace of Westminster - aka, Big Ben) would chime 96 times per 24 hours. Some clocks only chime on the hours, which would be 24 chimes/day.
