I know that equilibrium constants are a ratio of the products to the reactants(in terms of their concentration) and we say when the system is at equilibrium the constant equals 1
this must mean the concentration of the reactants and products are equal for the system to be in equilibrium.
but I thought equilibrium ment a constant concentration due to the same rate in both directions not equal concentrations so why does the constant have to equal 1?

The range for Kc is roughly
Kc < 10^-10 = reaction does not happen (product concentration too low to be detected)
Kc > 10^10 = reaction goes to completion (reactant concentrations too low to be detected)
Kc from 1 to 10^-10 equilibrium lying to the left hand side.
Kc from 1 to 10^10 equilibrium lying to the right hand side.

what is the value when at equilibrium then?
