general "quantities in chemical reactions" questions

hi,

im in high school, and we are currently doing a unit of chemistry on quantities in chemical reactions, and there are a few things i don't get, and i was wondering if anyone could show me a formula or an example, on calculating the theoretical yield, how to get the mass of the limiting reagent, and stoichiometry.. and how do u get the molecular formula?

thanks a lot for any info :)
