You're going to need to put more effort into it than that. Give us a paragraph describing in some detail what you are trying to do.
 
What chain speed do you need in rollers or links per second? What motor speeds in RPM are available? A 9 tooth sprocket will move 9 rollers of the chain per revolution. From that, gear reduction ratio can be calculated.

To calculate motor power; Does the chain transport an item, how often? If so, energy = KE = ½ m·v² will be needed to accelerate each item. Does the chain lift or lower a mass? If so, energy will be consumed or released, PE = m·g·h
