No it does not violate the law of conservation of mass,
because equal amounts of heat and carbon particles are given out during this chemical reaction

No. The principle of conservation of mass is fundamental and holds true. When the candle burns, the burnt wax just converts from one form to another ie. from a solid to gas. Of we collect the mass somewhere else and weigh it, It'd be the same as in the beginning
