IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW OF CONVERSATION OF MASS the total mass of the Reactants should be equals to the total mass in the products side.
Therfore,
Total Mass in Reactant side => 5.3 + 6 => 11.3 gms
In Product side => 8.2 + 2.2 + 0.9 => 11.3 gms.

Hence it tryuely shows that the law is governing here.
