Massive releases of methane hydrate from the ocean floor would cause which atmospheric gas to decrease?

Methane. Methane itself has a half life of 7 years in the atmosphere, decomposing to water (H2O) and the methy radical CH3. (i.e. amount of methane in atmosphere decreases by half every 7 years).

∙ 13y agoDue to global warming, the position of the equilibrium in the reversible reaction
CH4 .xH2O -------> CH4 + xH2O
shifts to the right(the reaction is endothermic). As a result, more methane begins to accumulate in the atmosphere. If I understood your question correctly, the answer would be : No, there would be no decrease in the amount of atmospheric gas. In fact, the opposite would happen.

Is sodium acetate in hand warmers?
Contained inside re-usable hand warmers is a super-saturated solution of sodium acetate. When a metal disk inside is bent, it forms a nucleation site for crystals. The supersaturated solution forms a crystaline hydrate, and releases heat in the process. The solution can be reformed by heating the crystaline hydrate.
Is methyl hydrate the same as acetone?
No, methyl hydrate is not the same as acetone.

When a hydrate compound is heated and appears to decrease in mass does it violate the law of conservation of mass?
No, it does not violate the law of conservation of mass. The reason for this is that the decrease in mass of the compound can be found in the mass of the water that was lost upon heating. Thus, total mass remains constant.
