    Chemistry is all about the scientific knowledge of matter at a molecular level, making sense of their reactions for the creation of new products, while Chemical Engineering focuses on applying that very knowledge for the design and optimization of industrial chemical processes and products like chemicals, drugs, and foods. In simple words, Chemistry deals with the Science behind the products, while Chemical Engineering focuses on how to produce those products on a large scale.
