Answer:

The diazotization reaction mechanism begins with the reaction of nitrous acid with the other acid to give water and nitrosonium ion. Thus, the required nitrosonium ion is formed.Inthe presence of excess acid, n-nitrosamine can be converted into a diazohydroxide by protonation and subsequent deprotonation..
