When an acid reacts with a metal why does the mass decrease?
One gram atomic mass of calcium reacts with two gram molecular masses of hydrochloric acid to form one gram formula mass of calcium chloride and one gram molecular mass of diatomic hydrogen gas.

A decrease in density would indicate a reduction in mass relative to the volume. If the mass decreases but the volume remains the same or increases, then the density would decrease.
The mass of aluminium is 0,48 g.
it will burn up
CO2 gas is formed, and as it is leaving the instrument in which this reaction is done in, the mass decreases.
Total mass remains the same according to the law of conservation of mass.
The loss of mass from the start as time goes on

The total mass will remain the same. The Law of Mass Conservation that matter cannot be created or destroyed. So, as long as the acid and the base react in a closed system (none of the products escape measurement) the mass will remain the same. The only way the total mass could seem less then the original mass would be because some of the water, that is always created in the reaction of an acid or base, has evaporated. Or in the case of Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) carbon dioxide is released when it reacts with an acid, so unless it reacts in a closed system, that mass will escape measure.
One gram atomic mass of calcium reacts with two gram molecular masses of hydrochloric acid to form one gram formula mass of calcium chloride and one gram molecular mass of diatomic hydrogen gas.

you increase or decrease mass by taking the mass out
The mass of the carbonate used.
This depends on the nature of solution; when the sample react with an acid the mass decrease and the solution become colored.
Because CO2 is released during the experiment which accounts for some of the weight loss
when anhydrous compounds decompose their mass will decrease
