Flower-like ammonium cadmium phosphate monohydrate was synthesized by solid-state reaction at low temperature and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and elemental analysis. The product NH4CdPO4·H2O was obtained with flower-like morphology by the addition of fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether surface-active agent. Based on Hess's law, thermochemical cycle was designed to determine the dissolution enthalpies of reactants and products using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter at 298.15 K, and the molar reaction enthalpy was calculated on the basis of above dissolution enthalpies. With the aid of other auxiliary thermodynamic data, the standard molar formation enthalpy of the title compounds was concluded:
