The procedure that best demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter during a chemical change or reaction is:

**Find the mass of an acid and a base. Combine them to produce water and a salt. Find the mass of the water and salt.**

This option directly involves a chemical reaction where matter (in the form of reactants) is transformed into different substances (products), allowing for a clear demonstration of conservation of mass.
