If forward and reverse reactions continue, why can the macroscopic composition remain constant?
At equilibrium, opposing processes balance so bulk composition no longer changes with time under fixed conditions.

The reaction quotient Q uses the current composition of a reaction mixture. At equilibrium, its value equals the equilibrium constant K for the chosen reaction expression and temperature.
