It depends what the hydroxide is; but common hydroxides (Sodium and Calcium hydroxides for instance) can be stored in glass bottles short-term. However, they do attack glass slowly, and equipment that is in regular contact with them can be damaged: burettes made of glass often sieze up after repeated use with these substances. Because of this slow but significant reactions, it is now more normal to see hydroxides stored in plastic bottles.

How do you Covert a full bottle of water into grams and kilograms?
A bottle is not a standard size so it is not possible to say how much water it will hold.
An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide contained in a bottle is labelled 2M. Determine the mass of sodium hydroxide used in preparing?
You cannot answer this without also knowing the VOLUME of the 2 M solution. For example, if you have 1 liter of 2 M NaOH, the the mass contained in that bottle will be 1L x 2 mol/L x 40 g/mol = 80 g.If, however, you have 2 liter, then the mass of NaOH contained in that bottle will be 160 g. And so on.
