A fireplace doesn't do much... it is just a solid, primarily made of brick and steel. However, if you actually burn a fire in a fireplace, you are doing a chemical change on the matter.
__________
The simple version is, if something is burning in the fireplace, chemical energy is being converted into thermal energy via combustion.

Burning wood in a fireplace is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Chemical potential energy converting to heat energy- apex
What type of energy conversion occurs when you place your feet near the fireplace and they become warm?
Convection.
What is Burning wood in a fireplace is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Chemical potential enegery converting to heat and enegry
Wood in a fireplace or the ashes in the fireplace after the wood burns has more potential energy?
Wood in a fireplace. When woods burns it gives of heat, a form of energy. Thus the wood has more potential energy.
What heat energy do you feel from the fireplace?
Radiation energy.

A comparison of amount of energy before a conversion with the amount of useful energy after a conversion?
Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy. In no case can it be more.Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy.

What is a comparison of the amount of energy before conversion with the amount of useful energy after conversion?
Energy Efficiency
What is the energy transformation that occurs in a fireplace?
Chemical to heat
How does a fireplace heat a room?
A fireplace heats a room by radiation. That radiation is the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
