The law of conversation of mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed

I think it says that amounts of reactant will form equal amounts of product.

The conservation law of Mass states that the matter or mass of an object cannot be created or destroyed.

@JazzieAngel This is my source: The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means, for example, if you have the chemical equation for photosynthesis ( 6O2 + 6CO2 + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 ) the number of oxygen atoms on one side must of the equation must equal the number of oxygen atoms on the other side of the equation. Same for carbon and hydrogen, too, in this example

If matter cannot be created nor destroyed then whatever reactants exist in a reaction will react completely to form product.
