sulphur dioxide smells really bad.. ive tried it in the lab.
I dont think there is any symbols for energy because it is a result for any reaction. for example Respiration reaction where by heat energy is being produced. According to physics theory, enegy is something that cant be created or destroyed, it can be in any form, like potential energy, kinetic enegy, heat energy or sound energy. Energy can be transformed form one for to another.

True, in a closed system you would only see deltaE but in open systems you can introduce energy, which would probably be designated E.

It's not according to Physics theory, but the first law of the Thermodynamics. The second law talks about the Enthropy of the system and environment...
