When a chemical reaction comes to equilibrium the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward. Both the reactants consume and the products formed are occurring at an equal rate. Thus in equilibrium the two reactions occur in opposite direction and they balance out each other.

the equilibrium will change depending on which process is favored in a condition. for example in reversible chemical reaction that will proceed at higher temperature. if the temperature is increase the products will be formed, but when the temperature is then lowered, the products will now form back to its reactants
