The water molecules that are evaporationg absorb heat energy from the surrounding environment, which causes the evaporation. If 5 grams of water evaporate, then there will be 5 grams of water vapor in the air.

mass is conserved as the water which evaporates appears as water vapour.no mass is lost
whatever heat that is needed for the evaporation is taken from the liquid and is conserved in the vapour thus the law of conservation of energy is also not flouted
