The profile of rate constant versus[H+] for the acid catalysed pathway of the nitrous acid reaction with the hydroxyammonium ion can be qualitatively interpreted in terms of a reversible O-nitrosation, followed by an O to N migration of the nitroso group in the conjugate base species NH2ONO. There is no need to assume a non-steady-state mechanism involving NO+, as has been proposed previously.
