A:

Yes you can use use MPR charger.

 

Fore More info:

Charger wattage

Quote from below linked article from Apple

"Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue."

You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook.
