The reaction below virtually goes to completion because cyanide ion forms very stable complexes with Ni2+ ion:

[Ni(H2O)6]2+(aq) + 4 CN-(aq) → [Ni(CN)4]2-(aq) + 6 H2O(l)

At the same time, incorporation of 14C labelled cyanide ion (14CN-) is very rapid:

[Ni(CN)4]2-(aq) + 4 14CN-(aq) = [Ni(14CN)4]2-(aq) + 4 CN-(aq)

Which statement below is correct with regard to stability and rate of reaction?
A) Equilibrium is static.
B) Stable species can react rapidly.
C) Stable species do not react rapidly.
D) Unstable species react rapidly.
