Yes. Every chemical reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass is tied to the fact that in chemical processes, atoms are conserved. Since every atom contributes to the mass of reactants and products in a reaction, not losing any atoms is equivalent to not losing any mass.
