Quadrupole mass spectrometer for measuring H2O and H2S

I have a quadrupole mass spectrometer with the capillary inlet. I want to use this mass spec for measuring mixture containing H2, CO, CO2, N2, O2, H2O and H2S with H2S in 1-10ppm and H2O in 30-40%. Can i use the quadrupole mass spectrometer with the capillary inlet that i have to measure all these components? will there be any problems i may face? or precautions i need to take? Please answer. Will provide more info if needed any. Awaiting answer ASAP.

Hi,
from my manual, I can go upto 200 AMU. It is just gas quadrupole mass spectrometer(qms), no GC-MS. I am new in using qms, so i need to provide info from manual. Please ask further info required so that i can provide from the manual. Thanks

In short no. You will need a GC (which I suspect you do have) in order to sepparate the gases with a column. For the gases you are concerned with you would have to scan from 50 to 10.
your manual what mass range can you look at ? Do you have a GC/MS or a Gas quadrupole MS ?
