Though it would be tricky to check this in a reaction in which gas was evolved and escaped the conservation  of mass/matter is As the prince above says.

I believe that this idea was used by Professors Lisa Meitner and Otto Hahn to discover that they had fissioned or split the nucleus. In the course of their radiochemsitry experiments they encountered what's called a "mass defect", linked this with Einstein's equation E = mc squared and realised they had split the nucleus. Hahn got a Nobel prize in Chemistry for this discovery.
