What determines which words that begin with the letters 'ch' make a 'cha' sound while others make a 'ka' sound?
As in much of English there is no rule.
There has been a story doing the rounds here in England about an English teacher trying to teach just this to a class. She stated quite categorically that ch was always either ch as in church or k as in mechanic.
One little girl put up her hand and said "Sometimes it's a 'sh' sound Miss".
The teacher said "No it's not Charlotte".

/ch/ will make the "k" sound when in a consonant blend (ex. school, Christmas, chlorine). Greek origin words also make the "k" sound (ex. character)
