A serpentine belt has an idler pulley on is to keep it tight at all times. If your serpentine belt is loose, then something is worn out. Its possible the idler pulley is stuck in its bracket so it cannot move or the spring on it is worn out.

Loosen the bolts on the alternator (do not take them all the way out), push the alternator toward the engine a little, take off the belt, (make sure you draw the path of the belt first) install the new belt according to the serpentine belt path diagram, and pull the alternator away from the engine (you may need a iron bar to help you be careful not to damage the alternator) and have someone else tighten the bolts of the alternator while you put tension on the alternator to tighten the belt.

I could be wrong here, but I think the very term serpentine belt implies there is only one. Of course you also probably have a timing belt or chain as well. And you could have another belt if you belt drive an accessory like a plow.
