If I'm understanding your question, the answer is that oxygen doesn't burn, it just helps other things to burn. There are things called 'fuel-air' bombs that take advantage of oxygen's ability to increase explosive potential.

Why do you need to fill the bomb with pure oxygen What would happen if you skipped that step and just allowed the bomb to fill with air?

Filling the bomb with pure oxygen provides a more efficient combustion process, leading to a more powerful explosion. Skipping this step and allowing the bomb to fill with air would dilute the oxygen content, making the explosion less intense and potentially causing the bomb to fail to detonate.

What is oxygen bomb calorimeter?

An oxygen bomb calorimeter is a device used to measure the energy content of a sample by combusting it in a controlled environment and measuring the temperature change. The sample is sealed in a high-pressure vessel (the bomb) with oxygen, ignited, and the heat released is used to calculate the calorific value of the sample. This method is commonly used to determine the energy content of fuels and food.
