With a pH of approximately 2, chyme emerging from the stomach is very acidic. The duodenum secretes a hormone, cholecystokinin (CCK), which causes the gall bladder to contract, releasing alkaline bile into the duodenum. CCK also causes the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas.

In stomach the chyme is acidic due to the release of HCl .... When it is passed into duodenum where pancreatic juice and bile juice are released into chyme which are basic (Alkaline)in nature... Hence chyme changes into alkaline...
