Some of the CO2 was lost as a gas.
Also, depending on how hot the mixture became, maybe some of the water was lost as steam.
Equation for the reaction which took place: Hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate -> calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water

some water had evaporated from the beaker what else caused the drop is mass?
