One can determine the acid dissociation constant (Ka) of a substance without using the pH value by conducting a titration experiment. In this experiment, a known concentration of the acid is titrated with a strong base of known concentration. By measuring the volume of base required to neutralize the acid, one can calculate the Ka value using the initial concentrations of the acid and base.
