What are the reasons for the use of glass-stoppered bottles for acids and plastic-stoppered bottles for bases?
It is mostly avoidance of glass-glass seals for bases, particularly strong alkalis, that is required. Glass is slowly attacked by strong alkalis and many bases react with atmospehric carbon dioxide - both reactions can lead to the formation of compounds that effectively cement together a glass-glass seal. You get the same reactions within a rubber/plastic-glass seal, but the plasticity of the seal makes the stopper relatively easy to remove.

Why can glass bottles store concentrated acid?
Because acid does not react with glass, glass isn't contaminated by anything, and if it is you can see it. Glass also is clear so you can see what kind of chemicals are inside. And used over plastic because some acids react with plastic and plastic is not as clear when it needs to be as thick as glass does.
Is SODIS just as effective with glass bottles as it is with clear plastic PET bottles?
Generally speaking, glass bottles will work for the SODIS process although they are much thicker walls and generally do not allow as much UV radiation through as thin walled clear plastic PET bottles which are the container of choice. The main disadvantages of glass bottles are the weight and the fact that they can break if dropped. They are also not as plentiful in the rural areas of developing countries where this process is being targeted at the household level. Another disadvantage is the lack of screw top lids found on plastic bottles. They are more difficult to cap and prevent leakage during the process.
