Which of the following statements best describes the pressure of an ideal gas contained in a sealed, rigid vessel that is in thermal equilibrium? (a)

\text{The pressure is greatest near the walls because molecules collide directly with the container.}

(b)

\text{The pressure is the same at every point inside the vessel.}

(c)

\text{The pressure fluctuates unpredictably from point to point even at equilibrium.}

(d)

\text{The pressure is greatest at the bottom of the vessel because of the weight of the gas above it.}
