"Conservation" in chemical reactions referrs to something that is the same before and after the reaction. When writing a chemical equation, balancing the equation represents the 'conservation of atoms' and the 'conservation of mass'. Add all the atoms of each individual type on the reactant side of the arrow and, individually, the number of atoms on the product side for each type of atom will be the same. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction.

How does law of the conservation of mass apply to chemical reactions?

The Law of Conservation of Mass applies to chemical changes. When considering a chemical change this would mean that the total mass of all of the reactants in the chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of products in the chemical reaction.
