No - the glass will not dissolve (unless you put hydrofluoric acid in it).

I don't know why you want some acid that burns someone....
But, no acids will melt glass, unless it is hydrofluoric acid, which is known to attack glass molecules. Sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid are the most common and popular acids. They are fairly strong. You turn it up a notch, and you have perchloric acid, which is 10 times stronger than 18 M sulfuric acid. The strongest types of acids are superacids, which are strong because they can ionize to leave a "naked proton" while the anion part of the acid will leave the solution. Fluorosulfuric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, and fluoroantimonic acid are very strong acids that are more than 1000 times stronger than 18 M sulfuric acid.
If you really want an acid that can target human beings as a specialty, nitric acid might work. Nitric acid attacks skin tissue.
All the above listed acids are not something you want to touch.....

Most acids (HCL, H2SO4, HNO3 etc) would corrode through metal bottles with the exception of Hydrofluoric acid (HF) which eats through glass and has to be kept in special metal containers.

Battery acid is typically stored in glass jars. Hydrofluoric acid is used to etch glass, so it will dissolve any glass container it's put into.

No. Acid is almost always stored in glass.

no, glass is resistant to acidic action. only hydroflouric acid (HF) attacks glass and destroys it.
Teflon is used to store HF.
