First, you can not create or destroy matter. In a chemical reaction you do not lose mass. Yes it is given off as a gas. CO2 gas. The equation shows where all the atoms are.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---- > NaCH3COO + CO2 +H2O
vinegar or acetic acid + baking soda--->sodium acetate + CO2 + H2O

During that reaction:
2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 --> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
gas CO2 is formed which is escape in air. That's where extra mass go.

E = M c squared, so some of the mass is converted into the energy of the reaction.
