The total number of atoms changes, so mass is conserved in the reaction.
Even if the total number of atoms changes, mass may not be conserved in the reaction.

The true statement regarding a chemical reaction is:
The total number of atoms does not change, so mass is conserved in the reaction.
This reflects the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
