Hey guys so I was absent for my class and my teacher STILL wants me to figure out how to do limiting reactant and theoretical yield I tried Khan academy and it was no use. So basically the first question is :

My data is : Mass of lead nitrate = 5.03g and Mass of Potassium Iodide is 8.09g. And the mass of my yellow precipitate is 6.66g. And the balanced equation is 2KI + Pb(NO3)2 --> PbI2 + 2K(NO)3

I was able to get this far but now im stuck and here are the questions:
- Find limiting reactant
- Find theoretical yield
- Find actual yield.

You were able to get "how far"? I don't see anything but the question and the numbers. I can work the problem for you which won't help you. If you've watched Kahn academy, what do you not understand now. Let's take it from there. How far can you get on your own and where is it confusing. The 6.66 g is the actual yield.
