Lecture Hours 3 Credits 3CY 124: General Chemistry II
Lecture Hours 3 Lab Hours 3 Credits 4General Chemistry II, CY 124 (CHEM 1424), is a continuation of CY 114 (CHEM 1414). This course treats in detail the states of matter, the energy relationships involved in physical and chemical changes, equilibrium and kinetics. Prerequisites for this course are MS 123 (MATH 1103) (College Algebra), CY 114 (CHEM 1414) (General Chemistry I), and MS 213 (Applied Math for Science Students) or departmental approval. The laboratory emphasizes quantitative analysis.
CY 134: Chemistry I for General Education/Non Majors
Lecture Hours 3 Lab Hours 3 Credits 4This survey course introduces Chemistry as it applies to the real world. Includes basic topics of scientific method, measurement, states of matter, atomic structure, periodic table, chemical properties, and chemical reactions. Appropriate for general education. Not appropriate for science majors. Lab required. This is an algebra-based chemistry course and it is strongly recommended that the student should have completed College Algebra with a “C” or better.
CY 204: Chemistry II for Health Sciences: An Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry (spring semester)
Lecture Hours 3 Lab Hours 3 Credits 4Chemistry II for Health Sciences: An Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry, CY 204 (CHEM 1224), is a one-semester survey course treating simple nomenclature, the chemical and physical prop-erties of organic compounds and the structure and function of the major classes of physiologically important compounds. This course is designed to give students of health sciences a basic knowledge of organic and biochemistry. A text that combines inorganic, organic and biochemistry is used. Some knowledge on the part of the student of inorganic chemistry is assumed.
