The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

the law of conservation of matter says matter can't be destroyed, but only change form. so, a chemical change is a reaction where substances(or matter) combine and transform into a completely different product from what you started with. so, in a chemical change is matter changing form, it's not being destroyed hence following the law of conservation of matter.
