Not if you are wearing it to protect you from viruses or other sub-microscopic pathogens or pollution/fumes. These N95 masks are more like respirators than a cloth or paper surgical mask. None of these should be reused when used for medical purposes, they should be thrown away after each use since they may harbor some of the filtered particles on the outside that could contaminate people or environments. They can not be washed for reuse, either, this will potentially deform or disintegrate the mask rendering it ineffective. N95 masks must also be medically fit to your face or they will not be effective. They are not recommended for children or those with beards or mustaches because that can allow gaps for particles to enter around the mask. See more in the related questions section.

No, baking soda is not a substitute for a disposable face mask. It does not provide protection against viruses or other contaminants like a proper face mask does. It is not recommended to make a mixture of baking soda for use as a face mask and store it in the fridge for reuse as it may cause skin irritation.

Can you reuse disposable face masks?

No. Not if they are made to be disposable. Use only once and then throw away, they are not effective after they get moist from respirations, so they are good for only short term use and only for one time.See the related question below for more information about using face masks for protection from the flu.
