the heart is separated into two sides so that it can carry out its function well. The right heart contains deoxygenated blood and the left heart with oxygenated blood. the two sides are separated from each other so that the blood from the two sides don't get mixed. this leads to effective oxygenation of the deoxygenated blood in the right heart through pulmonary circulation and effective oxygenation of the tissues in the different parts of the body by the oxygenated blood of the left heart through systemic circulation.

The human body has a 'Double circulatory system' which means that the blood goes through the heart twice before completing a cycle. this is because the blood gets pumped around the body, then through the heart and into the lungs to get more oxygen, then back through the heart and around the body...

Can a baby live if he has two heart chambers and they have holes in them?

There are two possible ways to interpret the question. The first is that there are two holes between the left and right sides of the heart - in this case, the baby can survive, but may need open heart surgery to correct the defects. The second is that there is no separate between the left and right sides of the heart (the septum in the middle didn't form) - this is much less likely to be compatible with life, although a heart transplant within the first few days of life may be possible.
