[Tex/LaTex] Caption for a table in landscape environment

landscapetables

I want to insert a caption for a table in the landscape environment but can't find a way to do it.

\begin{landscape}
    \pagestyle{empty}%
    \resizebox{0,1\textwidth}{!}{%
        \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
            \hline 
            &  \\ 
            \hline 
            &  \\ 
            \hline 
        \end{tabular} }
    \end{landscape}

You could load the rotating package and make use of its sidewaystable environment to typeset both the caption and the tabular material in landscape mode.

Oh, and I wouldn't the \resizebox method unless all other, more reasonable methods have already been exhausted.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{rotating,graphicx}
\begin{document}

\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{A table in landscape format}

\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline 
abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & 
abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc & abc \\ 
\hline 
\end{tabular}%
} % end of scope of \resizebox
\end{sidewaystable}

\end{document}

The table is vertically too big for being rotated; a font size reduction is necessary anyway. I get a decent result with

\usepackage{amsfonts}

\usepackage{ragged2e}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}

There are several problems in the table, I fixed some; however the names of the chemical elements are still wrong and you should fix them with mchem commands.

If you decide for a rotated table, you can use \footnotesize:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx,xcolor}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[centertags]{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage[version = 3]{mhchem}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{ragged2e}

\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaystable}

\caption{Kinetic parameters for oxygen reduction mechanism in MCFC cathode.}

\footnotesize
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}c|>{$}c<{$}|>{$}c<{$}|Y|Y|Y|Y|Y@{}}

\hline
\multicolumn{8}{c}{$i_o = i_o^o (O_2)^a (CO_2)^b$} \\
\multicolumn{8}{c}{$i_o$ = Bulk exchange current density, $mA/cm^2$} \\
\multicolumn{8}{c}{$i_o^o$ = Standard exchange current density, $mA/cm^2$} \\
\hline

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.
