If you have a 2017 MacBook, it came with a 30W USB-C power adapter. If you have another notebook model, it could be considerably higher. For example, the 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro uses a 140W USB-C adapter.


You don't mention which iPhone adapter (they are not chargers) you are considering using. However, none of the Apple-provided USB-C adapters can provide the 30W that would potentially power the MacBook.
