What is the difference between B.Tech in chemical engineering and B.Sc chemistry? Which one is better?

Firstly, B.Sc. Chemistry is more related to pure Science where you focus mainly on the chemical properties, reactions and their outcomes. On a deeper level you can conceptualize the creation of new compounds being a chemist. While, B.Tech in Chemical Engineering is more of an applied Science where you debottleneck the process conceptualized by a chemist to fit to the real world scenario. You will work to construct and operate large scale equipment that scale up the laboratory scale concept for real life applications. You will more be into designing scaled up equipment for the laboratory process to become feasible in a way that they are safe and easy to operate.

Career options of B.Sc. . include, Chemist in Research/Industrial labs, Teaching and Designing field if you are lucky/talented enough. Salaries vary because there are pinnacles in both fields where the salaries shoot up to skies. It all depends on how large can you make it. There is no guarantee for that aspect. Think wise before taking a decision.
