the law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.
Think of it like this:
In a chemical reaction, you can have reactants than come together to form product(s). The mass of the reactants will equal the mass of the products. Water, for example, can be formed as follows:
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
Here you have 4 Hydrogens and 2 Oxygens on the left and the same on the right. Thus, even though the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms have been rearranged (i.e. they "came together" to form water), mass is still conserved.
