It is different for different cars. Most cars will have a sticker on the drivers door or door frame giving the correct pressure (it's been required on all new cars for quite a while now). Open the drivers door and look for the sticker.
Read the small print on the side of the tire, somewhere it will tell you what the maximum pressure is that you should put in the tire (it will be 35 psi for most car tires). Don't go over this pressure when the tires are cold (if you check the pressure when the tires are hot the pressure may be higher, this is OK).
Always check the pressure when the tires are cold. For example, check them in the morning before driving the car. Driving the car will warm up the tires. If you check the pressure when the tires are warm, then the pressure in them will be too low whan they cool off.
If you don't find a sticker, then I recommend 32 psi. This is a safe number for most cars. But it might be too low for pickup trucks or larger SUV's. It is better to have the pressure too high than too low (as long as it is not over the maximum listed on the side of the tire). Higher pressures are safer. If the pressure is too low, you could have the tire fail at highspeed, likely causing you to crash. Higher pressures will also give you better gas milage. Really the only drawback to a higher pressure is that it might make the ride feel a bit harsher on rough pavment.

Should you adjust the pressure in your car tires before you start on a trip or after you have been driving some time?
Tire pressure should be adjusted after a period of driving. The air in a tire will heat and expand as you drive on it. Therefore, to prevent overpressurization, tire air pressure should be adjusted only after a period of driving.

What does air leave a tire when the tire valve is opened?
Air leaves a tire when the valve is opened due to the pressure difference. Since the tire has more pressure than the air outside, the tire air will escape until the pressure equalizes.
