"In a hypothetical reaction, a compound 'X' reacts with a compound 'Y' to form an intermediate 'Z'. The intermediate 'Z' then undergoes a series of reactions involving a catalyst 'C' to form the final product 'W'. Throughout the process, the reaction is monitored under constant temperature and pressure conditions. If the reaction of 'X' with 'Y' follows first-order kinetics, and the subsequent reactions involving 'Z' follow zero-order kinetics, what would be the overall order of the reaction, and how would the rate of formation of 'W' be affected if the concentration of 'Y' is doubled?" Options: First-order, the rate of formation of 'W' doubles. Zero-order, the rate of formation of 'W' remains unchanged. Second-order, the rate of formation of 'W' quadruples. Cannot be determined from the given information. This question tests understanding of reaction kinetics, the concept of reaction orders, and the effect of concentration changes on the reaction rate.
