Okay so this may need a few reads as it is a little complicated but this was the easiest way i could explain it... good luck :)
If a reversible reactions occurs (in a closed system), a dynamic equilibrium will be reached. All this means is that the relative % of reactants and products will reach a balance and stay there (NOTE: it is not always 50-50), the reactions will then continue to occur (basically the reaction takes place both ways, at the same time BUT there is no overall effect (one being made more than the other) as the relative % of reactants to products is balanced (remember :D) so the reactions kind of cancel each other out (as both reactions occur at the same rate)
NOTE: A closed system just means that none of the products/reactants can escape (this enables dynamic equilibrium to occur)
