If ventless plenty, if with a blower and not ventless plenty, if it's a vented fireplace without a blower not much. Ventless fireplaces have progressed from earlier times.
This very much depends on the type and model of fireplace. Gas and wood fireplaces may produce varying amounts of heat, while the supply of air and volume of the fireplace will also have an effect. If you really want to supply your home with as much of the heat from your fireplace as possible. I'd recommend a fireplace blower kit. They are relatively inexpensive and can save you a ton of money in heating costs.
It really depends on the appliance, there are some gas fireplaces that are designed to be decorative and produce little to no heat and there are others that produce heat very efficiently. Vent free fireplaces are extremely efficient but produce odor, have moisture issues, and are generally cheaply made and have far more potential for improper, dangerous operation than vented appliances. A Direct Vent DV gas fireplace is a good efficient and safe appliance, They will normally include DV on the model number somewhere and will have a sealed glass front. Most will accommodate blowers to help distribute the heat more effectively. Simply adding a blower to any gas fireplace will not necessarily increase the heat output. It has to be a model that was designed to produce heat to begin with.

How does a fireplace warm the house?
Fireplaces, especially gas fireplaces, don't really do much to heat your home unless a fireplace blower or fan kit is installed. A blower kit will dramatically increase the efficiency of your fireplace by helping to distribute the heated air your fireplace produces into your home. They have kits and replacement blowers for most major brands of gas fireplaces. Even some wood fireplaces.
If a gas fireplace is on and the electricity goes out will the fireplace continue to work?
It really all depends on the type of Fireplace you have. Fireplaces usually run on a pilot with a thermocouple or thermopile. These produce their own milivolts to run the gas valve. These type of fireplaces do not need power to ignite. If the fireplace's on/off switch is a remote that runs off of batteries or is a switch on the faceplate of the fireplace, then this fireplace should work with no power. Most fireplaces have a blower that circulates the warm air it generates. This fan would be running on 120v from the street and would not work when the power goes out. You may still have a flame on, but all the heat it generates is going out the stack. Other fireplaces have no fan and are mainly for looks. You may have a fireplace that is dependent on the 120volts and will do nothing. Check the operation manual on your fireplace.

How much heat does a gas fireplace produce?
Your question is sort of like how fast a car can go- depends on the car.
