The mass, and reactants. As the state of matter states that in a chemical reaction, no matter can be gained or lost.

The question is a little unclear, however in any chemical reaction the quantities conserved are ENERGY. Energy conservation is a central concept in chemistry/biology/physics.

In a chemical reaction that does not release anything other than heat and light, then it is also fair to say that all particles are conserved (i.e. atoms and electrons). Chemical reactions are the reordering of atoms to form new molecules, fundamentally.
