Why does the left ventricle have thicker muscular walls than the other heart chambers?

Actually two chambers of the heart is more muscular (so basically one side of the heart) Because the one side of your heart only has to pump blood to the lungs were it gets oxyginated but the other side of the heart (more muscular side) has to pump the blood all the way to your toes, and every other organ in the human body!

How do you locate your heart?

The heart is located slightly to the left side of the ribcage. It cannot be morphologically located. You are at a better position to locate the position of your own heart with a stethoscope. This device helps you in locating the heart by listening to the heart beat. Where the beats are most prominent your heart should be right beneath it. The heart is located in the center of the chest half way between the nipples in case of men. It is slightly tilted to the left.

Is the left ventricle thicker than right ventricle because pumps blood against a greater resistance?

The left side of the heart is much bigger and stronger because it must pump blood through out to the entire body. The right side of the heart must only pump blood through the lungs (and then to the left side). So, since the blood is pumped in through and out of the left side with more pressure, the myocardium must be thicker.
