Solution

The correct option is B H2O<H2S<HCl<CO2
Atomic mass of H=1

Atomic mass of O=16

Atomic mass of Cl=35.5

Atomic mass of C=12

Atomic mass of S=32

Molecular mass of the given compounds are-

H2O=2+16=18

HCl=1+35.5=36.5

H2S=2+32=34

CO2=12+32=44

Hence, the correct increasing order for the molecular mass is,
H2O<H2S<HCl<CO2
