Probability calculation question

I am not good at probability, so if anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it.

Given 5 fair coins, I can calculate the probability distribution for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 heads. But what if I have unfair coins? And they are all different?

Suppose I have 5 coins where the probability of heads are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. I know the probability of all heads (0.0012) and no heads (0.1512), but what are the chances of 1 heads/4 tails? 2 heads/3 tails? etc?

Is there an analytical way to solve it?
