What happens to the mass of a pile of dry leaves when they are burned?

The leaves turn into ash and carbon dioxide and water vapor but the mass remains the same (unless you are looking at this answer in relativistic terms, in which case, a very small amount of mass turns into energy).

What is the mathematical relationship between atomic mass units and grams?
Tricky bit that, but it's part of the definition of the molar mass. Basically, if you were to collect 6.022×1023 atoms of a substance of a particular atomic mass (lets say 6 for arguments sake), then the resultant pile of atoms would have a mass of 6 grams.
Are newspapers inorganic waste?
No, newspapers are considered to be organic waste. This is because paper is made of wood fibers (primarily cellulose and lignin), which are organic molecules. The easy test for this is whether or not the waste will decompose on its own - if you leave a newspaper sitting under a pile of leaves, it will mostly decompose over the course of a year. In contrast, if you leave a glass bottle sitting under a pile of leaves, you could come back in a hundred years and the bottle would still be useable.
Do hickory trees make soil acid or alkaline?
Probably acid. Like most leaf litter from deciduous, semi-, or evergreen, the leaves will pile up and break into smaller pieces, forming a rich 'humusy' topsoil. If you have ever removed something that was on top of dead leaves and noticed how dark, wet, and decomposed they were...that is kind of what happens to leaves at the bottom of a layer of leaf litter. Twigs, bark, flowers, fruits, and nuts can count too, and add to the enrichment of topsoil, which is one of the things great about trees in many situations, especially where drought is involved. The exception is that burned wood ashes will make soil alkaline. So if you used wood in a barbeque or woodstove, the ashes can be added to balance the soil acidity (pH). It is supposed to be very potent and used sparingly, only if needed in very wet acid conditions. Hickory is good for fuel, smoking, flavor,etc.
