How many hours will you be free in?
Which one of the following sentences would sound better?
"How many hours will you be free in?"
or
"In how many hours will you be free?"
?
The difference is only in the order of the words. I am not sure where I should put the word "in".
Thanks.

Not sure I agree, I actually think the second one is correct and not the first one. The first one doesn't sound right to me. If you want a more natural way to ask this I would say.
'How long until you are free?'
or 'How many hours until you are free?' I prefer the first of these two examples.

The first one is correct

We usually say the first one, although the second option is *theoretically* better. They're both correct.

I understand the second sentence better, but to be honest both sound very awkward.
Grammar dilemma? Write something else. It's what we native speakers do. ;)
"How soon will you be free?"
"How long until you're free?"

Likewise, I think the second one is more conventionally used.
in how many hours will you be free?
