Which organ secretes a chemical compound which emulsifies fats and makes the food alkaline?
The small intestine contains an enzyme called peptidase, which works best in the alkaline environment of that organ (pH of about 8.) This helps further break down food that has already passed through the acidic environment of the stomach. Enzymes are protein catalysts which speed up the digestion process.

Why the stomach need alkaline mucus?
I would say to help protect the stomach's epithelial lining from the intensities of HCl acid's low pH (1.5-3.5) as the stomach's contents turn to chyme. HCl acid is as strong as it is to destroy harmful bacteria.

What is the secretes an alkaline fluid that neutralizes the acids in the female reproductive system?
The prostate gland secretes an alkaline fluid that helps neutralize the acidity of the female reproductive system during sexual intercourse. This fluid is a component of semen, which aids in creating a more favorable environment for sperm survival and mobility. By neutralizing acidic conditions, the alkaline fluid enhances the chances of successful fertilization.
