The shorthand notation for a galvanic cell includes the anode, cathode, and salt bridge. In this case, the anode is where oxidation occurs, which is the half-reaction with the higher potential. The cathode is where reduction occurs, which is the half-reaction with the lower potential. The salt bridge is used to maintain charge neutrality.
In the given reaction, SnS1U1P12 is the anode and gets oxidized to SnS1U1P13 with a potential of -0.15 V. ClS1U1B12S1U1B0(g) is the cathode and gets reduced to ClS1U1P1-S1S1P0(aq) with a potential of 1.36 V. Therefore, the correct shorthand notation is:
Pt(s) ∣ SnS1U1P12+S1S1P0(aq), SnS1U1P13+S1S1P0(aq) ∣∣ ClS1U1B12S1U1B0(g) ∣ ClS1U1P1-S1S1P0(aq) ∣ C(s)
