In is the same preposition like in English, so it means "inside".
However, in Italian we have determinate articles .
articolo determinativo (definite article)
lo: for masculine singular nouns beginning with z or s+consonant
plural=gli
il: for masculine singular nouns beginning with all other consonants
plural=i
l': for masculine singular nouns beginning with any vowel
plural=gli
la: for feminine singular nouns beginning with any consonant
plural=le
l': for feminine sigular, beginning with any vowel
plural=le
So, when we want to say in the .... we must do it in this way
In + IL - NEL
In + LA - NELLA
In + i - NEI
In + GLI - NEGLI
IN + LE - NELLE
I hope it is clear now.
Let me know if there is anything else you don't understand.
Have a nice day.

Nella = in la
"In" è una preposizione semplice; combinata con l'articolo "la" diventa "nella", preposizione articolata.
Le preposizioni articolate seguono le regole dell’articolo determinativo "il, lo, la" (plurale "i, gli, le"), per esempio, semplificando, si usano in riferimento a qualcuno o qualcosa già noto a chi legge o ascolta.
Esempio: Le chiavi sono nella (in + la) mia borsa.

"Qual è" is the right Italian way to write it and not "Qual'è". :-)
