Tertiary amines have alkyl groups around the central atom (nitrogen) while ethanol has hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group around the carbon atoms. As a result, ethanol is more prone to attack by other groups while in tertiary amines, stearic hindrance doesn't allow attack of incoming groups. So, tertiary amines are more stable than ethanol.

Why tertiary carbocation is more stable?
due to hypercongugation
Why tertiary carbonium ions are more stable than the primary and secondary carbonium ions?
because they are. Knowwhatamsaying I would say its mainly due to the fact that that tertiary have more alkyle group (CH3) thus its more stable. Primary has one secondary has two and tertiary 3 (see a patern there)
Why methyl amine is more basic than trimethyl amine?
Methyl amine is more basic than trimethyl amine because it is more stable. Basicity is based on the stability of a compound as well as the availability of the hydrogens present. With three methyl groups are far more unstable than one methyl group on a nitrogen, since all of the protons are pushing away from one another.
What is reductive amination reaction?
It's a reaction to add a single alkyl group to a primary amine. It involves creating an imine from the primary amine and an aldehyde and then reducing it to a secondary amine. Other methods of alkylation of amines would add more than one alkyl group.
Which contains more carbon. 6.01 g of glucose C6H1206 or 5.85 g of ethanol C3H60?
Ethanol
How to transfer a di-ethanol amine into tri-ethanol amine?
You add one more amine into it !

Why aromatic compound undergoes electrophilic substitution?
in aromatic amines due to the presence of of the amine group, the conjugation of the benzene ring proceeds through making the ring more stable.
Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?
Water expands more than ethanol because the boiling point og water is more than that of ethanol.
Is ethanol more volatile than acetone?
Acetone is more volatile than ethanol.
Is potassium soluble in ethanol?
Yes. Potassium iodide is readily soluble in ethanol and in methanol, the two most common alcohols. The saturation concentration is higher in methanol than in ethanol, i.e., you can dissolve more potassium iodide in the former than in the latter. Potassium iodide-alcohol solutions are widely used in the construction of electrolytic tilt sensors, which require a stable ionic solution for proper operation.
Why tertiary alcohol is more reactive?
Tertiary alcohols are also bonded to three other carbon atoms (whereas secondary alcohols are bonded to two, primary alcohols to one). These other carbon atoms share their electronegative charges with the middle carbon.
A molecule with three or more atoms?
tertiary
Do fruits contain more ethanol than vegetables?
You are probably referring to ethylene and not ethanol. Fruits produce more ethylene as they age.
When atoms combine to form compound do they become more stable or less stable?
More stable
