No - they are quite different. A B.S. in chemistry will focus on things like synthesis and analysis in a laboratory setting. Chemical engineering is focused on developing processes to accomplish a known set of chemical reactions or physical separations on a large scale.

Chemists do most of their work in labs in beakers and such while chemical engineers will do their work on computers and with huge vats containing thousands of gallons of a mixture. It is a difference of both scale of operations and focus.

Which college major is the hardest?

Chemical Engineering. It encompasses all the requirements of a Chemistry degree (Second hardest) and an Engineering degree. Be prepared to sit next to pre-medical students learning about chemistry. Be prepared to take the same courses as a Physics Major, same courses as a Math Major, and learn about thermodynamics that an Engineering Major will take.
